Episode 239. White and Five Colors (2)
“I don’t know what you want to say.”
Flügel pretended not to know what I was asking, but I could tell for sure.
This guy is the party concerned.
voice.
twinkle.
action.
And, the flow of mana.
Everything was pointing to the guy being one of the culprits, which made it completely unbelievable when Flügel said he wasn't involved.
Click.
Meyer placed two teacups on the table. If there were two, which ones would be mine and Flügel's? I thought there was none… …but Meyer took Flügel's.
“Damn bitch, where is mine?”
“I had no intention of giving it to you in the first place.”
“Tsk.”
When the atmosphere seemed to have become strange, Flügel clicked his tongue once and focused on me again.
“The remains of the demon. Don’t you know about it?”
“If I knew, I would have told you.”
“Your strength is absolutely necessary to move something of that size here, Flügel.”
“That’s not even funny!”
I sat down and glared at Flügel, but he just continued to brag and stroke his beard.
“If you bring in the remains of that monster from the North, the whole world will know about it, but won’t the system be quiet?”
“It must have been buried because it happened in the past.”
“That must be so true.”
I smiled and looked at Flügel.
“Didn’t you use magic to mislead people into thinking the remains were something else and bring them in?”
“What are you talking about?”
I took the teacup and savored the aroma. The tea leaves were indeed of the highest quality, but the brewing method was wrong, so a slightly cloudy smell suddenly appeared.
“I’m talking about Lord Flügel’s illusion magic.”
A fact that few people in the system know. People think that Flügel's specialty is to burn his opponents with strong heat using the 'Yang element', but that is not actually true.
Magic that projects invisible shapes through the reflection of light and various actions. 'Illusion' is his specialty.
“With Sir Flügel’s ‘illusion magic,’ wouldn’t it be easy to move that huge head?”
“……There’s nothing you don’t know.”
Knock, knock!
As Flügel showed signs of discomfort and struck his staff twice on the ground, Meyer brought over the teacup with a look of indifference.
“It is common sense that you can only handle one element.”
The basic rule is that a wizard can only control one element.
However, as time goes by, people who break that rule tend to appear. Flügel is one of those people who broke that rule.
“No, it’s not common sense. If you continue to study one lineage, it’s natural that you’ll become proficient in all magic.”
“That’s why I introduced you to Miss Meyer.”
As befitting her name, O-Saek (Five Colors) was born, she was born with the ability to sense all elements.
A natural genius who can live long like a Flügel and fully utilize his abilities without having to study magic. In scientific terms, he is no different from a new substance.
“Yurien.”
Unlike before, Flügel glared at me with serious eyes.
The nervous impression has disappeared, but the eccentric air still remains.
“If you are a subject of the system, if you have ‘closed eyes’, don’t you know that too?”
“What are you talking about?”
“There are areas where you must not set foot.”
Flügel took a sip of his teacup, just like I did. Perhaps sensing a murky aroma that didn’t match the expensive tea leaves, he glared at Meyer once before turning his gaze away again.
“If you’re quick-witted, you know that, at least for the most part, it’s best to avoid scratching the royal family’s dirty line.”
“Haha.”
I laughed briefly.
Damn, I just tried to laugh casually, but an unpleasant laugh always came out of my mouth.
“Sir Flügel, growing old is truly a frightening thing.”
“What do you mean?”
“Didn’t you just admit that ‘the head of the demon’ has a connection to the imperial family?”
It's something I already knew, but I decided to remind Flügel of it.
The reason I came here in the first place was not to learn about the connection with the 'Imperial Family'. It was to find the 'horn' of the missing demon god.
"hmm."
Flugel sighed, realizing that he had made a mistake.
“……What is this, you old man.”
Meyer was also taken aback, perhaps seeing such a cautious look for the first time.
“It’s true that growing old is scary. You make a lot of small mistakes, and your thoughts tend to drift in bad directions.”
Flügel held his staff with the other hand that was not holding the teacup. As the tendons in his wrinkled hand stood out, the mana around him began to stir.
At the same time, I reached for the scabbard on my waist, ready to counter Flügel's magic at any time.
Gulp──!
Flügel's confused movements stopped me in my tracks.

'Car… …?'
Flügel was spilling the tea Meyer had given him onto the floor.
The moment the thought of “Was it really that tasteless?” bloomed in my head, the ground beneath my feet began to get wet.
Hit──!
As if a tide had come in, water began to rise around the Flügel.
'What is this…?'
Fantasy magic.
The moment he thought that mana was stirring around the staff, Flügel had already completed the magic.
“Ugh……!”
In an instant, water began to flood up to my chin.
“What, what are you doing, you damn old man… Grumble!”
By the looks of it, Meyer was also under the spell.
This crazy old man!
You're telling me you're going to use magic all of a sudden!?
Before we knew it, Flügel's lab was filled with water.
I knew this was 'illusion' magic, but Flügel's ability was such that he could make 'illusions' actually be perceived. I held my breath as long as I could, thinking that if I inhaled without thinking, my lungs might die.
“The royal family has strictly forbidden any disclosure of what happened at that time.”
In the laboratory filled with water, the only thing that moves normally is the Flugel.
Damn old man. Can't you just talk?
“Even if I say something like that, there’s no way you’ll go back.”
It seems like he read my mind. In fact, I had no intention of going back.
“Aren’t you a tiger that neither barks nor sees, working for the imperial family?”
When are you talking about this story?
“So, this is a warning. Turn around……”
I barely managed to keep up with the noisy words of the flugel, and I resisted the buoyancy caused by the 'illusion magic' with my strength.
To be honest, I was also impressed. It was something to do with the 'spirit', but there is someone who can resist the buoyancy of water with strength.
That's the fact that it's me.
“What a monster!”
Kwajik──!
To move forward, I stepped hard on the ground and a large crack appeared in the ground.
The 'buoyancy' I feel now is an illusion. Because of that, the ground broke under my feet as I stepped forward with force.
'I'm so tired I could die!'
I barely managed to close the distance and reached out to Flügel's shoulder. However, Flügel's body shook like a mirage and soon disappeared.
“Why don’t you control your strength a bit? If you get caught in those vicious hands, even your bones will be crushed!”
Listening to the eccentric tone of Flügel, I clicked my tongue inwardly.
A guy who has no intention of getting caught anyway is talking nonsense!
'Where are you?'
The flugel disappeared like a mirage and was nowhere to be seen in the laboratory.
“Go back.”
“Where did you hide the horns?”
“I told you to go back, Yurian.”
It seems like they used 'illusion' to hide the shape, but I also have a way to find out.
'Swoop.'
After taking a deep breath, he began to scatter mana around him.
No matter how much you hide your appearance as an 'illusion', your true self still exists. If you spread out mana like Zahat's 'Aura Sonar' and touch its true self, it's not a problem to detect its location.
“Do you think it will work?”
But, I knew this would happen.
There's no way I can keep up with Flügel when it comes to 'mana management'.
Flugel, who noticed the 'Mana Detection', spoke in a mocking voice.
It would also be impossible to chase the voice. The 'illusion' that Flügel uses is not only capable of deceiving the sense of sight.
“First-class illusion magic must be able to deceive sight, hearing, and smell. You won’t be able to touch my body, Yurian.”
Flügel said he was first-class, but in fact, it could be said that he was a wizard who had reached a higher level than first-class.
His strength is indescribable. In terms of achievements and status, the 'Sword Saint' is much higher, but if we are simply talking about strength and ability, I would like to raise Flügel's hand.
That would be the case, since the 'White Sage' is a monstrous wizard who has lived for hundreds of years.
'You can use both fantasy magic and attack magic, but you don't use them.'
It seems like he is being quite generous with me. Or maybe his disciple Meyer is watching and is trying to be as generous as possible.
“No matter how monstrous your power is, it’s useless if you can’t reach it.”
“That’s right. Without the ability to rely on sight, hearing, or smell, it would be impossible to find Lord Flügel.”
It was a suffocating situation, but it didn't matter.
From the beginning, I came here prepared with a solution in mind.
“But what about touch?”
“Tactile? What is that…….”
As if sensing something strange, Flügel's voice cracked slightly.
“Demon!?”
Correct answer.
I had attached the stretched out Angelica, thinner than thread, to the guy's body before we even started talking.
'I knew something like this would happen.'
Clang.
As I pulled the slender Angelica with my left hand, I felt something being pulled out of the empty space where I could not see anything.
At the same time, the shape of the Flügel began to appear in the air like a mirage, just as it had disappeared.
“Were you there?”
Flügel frowned at my words.
